Great little article hatchie... Love the bit about the secret reeking that no one wants to dig up.
Woder why every time there is a secret coven of some kind, they always have miles of underground tunnels? Is the Motherboards our burrow?
This from the New York Press last week ...
green alert to Jay McInerney!
"A survey of 1,003 New Yorkers between the ages of 25 and 35 revealed that the HOTTEST current pick-up joints in towns are no longer bars, nightclubs, or church groups, but rather chain stores. Topping the list were Barnes & Noble and Starbucks. Further down the list were Rite-Aid, Staples, Home Depot, K-Mart, Subway sandwich shops and Ikea. Many of those surveyed also expressed ... lustful excitement at the possibility that a Wal-mart might be opening in Brooklyn soon.
" 'Most any major nationwide chain will do when I'm looking for a girl,' one 27-year old from Williamsburg said. 'There's something about the comfortably interchangeable sameness of the corporate bosom. When I go to a chain store, I feel loved. And when I feel loved, I also feel I'm capable of loving in return. Well, loving and spending money.' " Big chuckle.
"As it happens, the survey was sponsored by the American Express Corpoation, as they prepare to launch a new credit card."
Not to mention the comfortably interchangeable sameness of the girlfriends' fake bosoms.
Just the fact that people (or in this case, probably a copy-writer) can even begin to merge the image of spending money in chain stores ~ equivalent to ~ getting laid
is a dreadful, nauseous etiolation of the metaphor!!
Just kill me.
